BIC Removed From Official Integrity Dealer List

Kazue Shimoyama

______________

A notice was sent out to W Club members earlier today regarding the end of business with BIC in Japan. I requested permission to reproduce parts of the email but was asked by Alain to please stay out of it. (?)The letter asks collectors to pass on the information to other collectors who may have ordered from BIC.

What I can say (I've said this already) is that if you had a pre-order for any (Integrity Toys or other) products placed with a deposit to BIC, get your money back. IT is offering to help you get the doll you pre-ordered if possible. You will need a receipt of sorts proving that you did have a confirmed pre-order.

Kazue, if you happen to read this, please know that my husband and I are pulling for you. Rudy, too.

I wonder why they want you to leave it alone? It is in the best interest that collectors realise that from now on BIC is not figuring in the International Dealers IT list, and that they (IT) will try to get the dolls for whoever pre-ordered them with BIC...

I wish with all my heart that Kazue is safe, and I also wish all over the world collectors get their $$ back.

Concerning the second one from the 28th: IT are as customer unfriendly as ever. They could at least give the money they received as a pre-payment from Kazue back to the respective pre-order BIC customers.

So those would only suffer about a 50 % loss from a whole amount pre-payment. But probably IT will then argue they don't want to make public the retailers' purchase prices. As if nobody knew about pricing...

As an alternative, they could sell the pre-ordered dolls to the customers directly, a procedure they practice all the time. Just leave out the now unfortunately missing retailer, BIC.

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a year ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
